A pop rock duo helped design this stunning jewelry collection — & we’re obsessed
Gorgeous, accessible jewelry that makes a statement.
Jewelry purveyor GLDN has become a sought-after brand for its chic, surprising takes on classic designs — and its latest collection, a collab with pop-rock duo Ally & AJ, is nothing if not obsession-worthy. Each piece is crafted with luxe materials, featuring delicate silhouettes that reflect the artists’ history, and the brand’s commitment to an aesthetic that’s timeless and still totally of-the-moment.
California-inspired pieces that elevate any look
Place has always been a sort of guiding light for GLDN; the brand custom-crafts much of its pieces in its Connor, Washington studio. A collaboration with Ally & AJ makes total sense, as it combines the brand’s customary high-quality craftsmanship with inspiration from Ally & AJ’s lived experience. You’ll find influence from the artists’ home state of California, and their sense of family — they’re sisters as well as creative collaborators — along with high-quality materials and designs that bring a sense of place and connection. Like a gorgeous blue lapis lazuli ring to evoke the state’s oceans, or a friendship necklace that speaks to the duo’s strong bond. The collection features a selection of rings, bracelets, charms, and necklaces — so you can find the perfect addition to your collection.

Organically shaped, the stone is set in a band crafted from sterling silver thickly layered with 14-karat gold vermeil. A luxe piece anyone would keep forever, this will look incredible whether worn singly or stacked — so it’ll work for both minimalists and maximalists.

A delicate chain bracelet with a sweet flower charm
The poppy is California’s state flower, which is why GLDN and Ally & AJ featured it as a charm in this sweet bracelet. Crafted from 14-karat gold vermeil, a tiny citrine at the flower’s center adds a hint of glitter — but the dainty design is subtle enough to easily layer into a stack, and you can always pop on an extra charms for extra (chic) oomph.

A luxe poppy-emblazoned bandana you can style like jewelry

It can be tied around the neck, a ponytail, or a handbag — a gorgeous option for anyone who loves options.

A friendship necklace that might make your bestie cry

An abalone ring that makes beautiful use of asymmetry
Set in gleaming 14-karat gold vermeil, this ring features an abalone that’s not quite round, not quite square — a one-of-a-kind look that’s amplified by two lab-grown blue spinels, each in a different size and shape. Asymmetry at its most beautiful, the design still feels perfectly balanced.
